Delphinium Blue Fountains mix
Blue Fountains Delphinium |
USDA Zone: 2-9 |
Plant number: 1.175.500
Delphiniums are the stars of the early summer border. Plants form a low mound of deeply-cut green leaves, bearing large spikes of satiny flowers. This compact strain produces flowers in a range of shades, from blue, through to purple, lavender, soft pink and white. Removing faded spikes at the base will encourage repeat blooming in fall. In hot, humid summer regions, plants do not usually last more than 2 to 3 years. Excellent for the smaller garden, also nice in mixed containers. Use a high phosphorous fertilizer each year, in early spring. CAUTION: Harmful if eaten.
